Beschreibung
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
• Theory and History
• Blue-Green-Water-Concept, Virtual Water, ESS ESF
• Organization, System scales
• Implementation within politics’ environment
• Recent and former examples
Presentation and discussion of mesoscale watershed models used in IWRM context, including modelling with HEC HMS
• Simulation of a real case scenario with a model of the Blue Nile River Basin in Ethiopia
• Computation of irrigation demands
• Surface water reservoir management
• Groundwater calculations
Presentation, discussion and calculation of Optimization Methods, including computation of exercises by hand and pocket calculator, with MS Excel and finally MATLAB (educational license). Selection of following methods:
• Decision Support Systems (DSS)
• La Grangian Multiplier
• Iterative Gradient Methods
• Hill-climbing Methods
• Linearization Methods
• Simplex-Algorithm
• Dynamic Programming
Training of additional skills needed for IWRM
• Multi-Criteria Analysis including exercises
• Sensitivity and Post-optimality analysis
• Time series analysis
Within this module additionally to the lecture students will work on a real case IWRM scenario, which simulates water scarcity within the Blue Nile Basin. They will represent a stakeholder with special interests on water quantity and quality aspects in Ethiopia, carry out a strategy, how to reach their goals and proof the results of the HEC HMS model. Within this project, students will learn, how to formulate and defend stakeholders’ arguments within a presentation and discussion with the other stakeholder-groups. At the end, they have to find a compromise and a way to implement a solution for all acceptable within the political system.
